Wine Cake

Nearly everytime I make it, I am asked for the recipe.  Now, don’t turn up your nose at the cake & pudding mix.  Just make it once and see what you think.  My mom said that as kids, my sister and I begged her to make this for our birthday cakes.  My hubby & son [...]

Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I love oatmeal. I love chocolate. I love cookies.
Last night I was a little stressed, and decided to do a little stress baking.  I found this recipe on the back of the flour bag.  I adapted it a bit, and offer it here for you to enjoy.

Bread From the Oven – Sweet Success!

I always wanted to make fresh bread.  The problem is, I was the world’s worst baker.  I tried making bread.  It turned out dry and ordinary.  So, I quit doing it.  Then, I started seeing some friends on Facebook turning out these gorgeous loaves of bread that I was paying $5 or so per loaf. [...]

Pumpkin Pie, Size Small

Have I ever mentioned that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday?  What’s not to love about a holiday spent with family, making delicious food that brings back memories?
I keep it traditional, but play with it just a bit.
Because I love this holiday menu so much, I rarely stray from it.  So, no southwest turkey, tofurkey [...]

Waffle + Cookie = Delish!

It was quite a sight…
Fall is in the air… and the lovely children of our neighborhood were out raking up the leaves.  I was also proud to learn that my little one was the instigator!  He was the “boss”, and was out directing his friends to work together and rake up all the leaves in [...]

Apple Pie: A Classic

I love baking.  I also love the classics.  I don’t think that food has to be complicated or extravagant to taste good.  I love to try out new recipes I find for the classics, like Apple Pie.
Here’s my mish-mashed personal recipe (it took about three or four recipes and a fair amount of experimenting).  Enjoy!

Classic [...]

Holy Grail Chocolate Chip Cookies

I think I’ve found it – the holy grail of chocolate chip cookie recipes.  It’s soft, chewy and a little fluffy.  I started with the Sunset magazine recipe, and messed with it a little (because I just can’t leave well enough alone).  These are fab, easy and sooooo yummy.  I think it’s the absence of [...]

Lil Chocolate Cupcakes

How fun are these?  I used my chocolate cake recipe, and make these little mini-cupcakes for my hubby for Valentine’s Day.
Oh, what are those crumbs?  Well, most of the cupcakes disappeared overnight.
